Tybee Polar Plunge to start new year

On New Year's Day, take a brisk plunge into the Atlantic Ocean at the 14th annual Tybee Polar Plunge on Tybee Island, Ga.

The event includes the "Gang of Goofs" contest, where everyone is invited to dress up in funny, wacky costumes for a chance to parade in front of a panel of judges and to win great prizes. All proceeds benefit the restoration of the historic Tybee Post Theater on Tybee Island.

The Gang of Goofs Parade starts at 11 a.m. and the Polar Plunge is at noon at the Tybee Island Pier and Pavilion.

There is a $25 entry fee for adults and $15 for children under 12 to take the plunge, which includes a long-sleeve Tybee Polar Plunge T-shirt. Tybee Post Theater members enjoy a 10 percent discount off entry. There is no fee to enter the "Gang of Goofs" costume contest.

Register in person Dec. 28-31 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the roundabout on Tybrisa Street or Jan. 1 from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at the Tybee Island Pier and Pavilion.
